"Many things have to be accomplished before photovoltaics become a ubiquitous technology: reducing the amount of necessary high-cost semiconductor material, developing highly efficient cells, achieving long-term durability and reliability, using low-cost packaging substrates, creating scalable high-speed assembly processes, and establishing fast methods to install and wire the grid-connected circuitry." -

Introduction to Future Visions & Current Concerns Section
Why development and widespread adoption of standards and roadmaps will make it easier for companies to meet growing demand while fostering technological innovation.
With the PV industry at a critical juncture – reaching the limit of evolutionary improvements – it needs collaborative, innovative solutions for the next decade, driven by a roadmap.
Introduction to New Technologies & Materials
The Meyer Burger group offers a unique technology and product portfolio, covering all the important technologies from solar silicon to solar module. The group is dedicated to enable its customers to reach the lowest cost of ownership and thus to reach grid parity faster.
A description of microsystems-enabled photovoltaic concepts that consist of the fabrication of micro-scale crystalline silicon and GaAs solar cells, the release of these cells into a photovoltaic “ink” solution, and the printing of these cells onto a substrate using fluidic self-assembly approaches
Why efforts to develop high-efficiency thin film PV devices using more widely available raw materials are critically important if thin film PV is to play a meaningful role in the future global energy supply
